Review Summary: An Amazing Tool For Testing All Your Christian Doctrinal Theories!

Details: This book is awesome!
The Tabernacle (and Holy Days) are an amazing template of the spiritual journey every person will eventually make from Egypt to the Promised Land.
By analyzing in the physical all the rituals that took place in the tabernacle you can figure out everything a Christian should do in the New Testament without making things up, listening to "men", and guessing all the time.
For example: The baptism of the Holy Spirit is something that has been really ambigous to me. My wife and I were "baptized in the Holy Spirit" by accident in 2004 (our church taught it was not really scriptural and that at the water baptism all Christians are baptized in the Holy Spirit). Some Christians say tongues are for today some say it's of the devil. But if we look at the Tabernacle, as a template, it shows us something really interesting:
What if a Christian putting faith in Jesus (blood of the lamb) is Passover/Brazen Altar/Outer Court Christianity. This means that the initial birth into God's family through faith in Jesus is represented by the Brazen Altar or Passover. That makes sense. All Israel could go into the Outer Court but not all Israelites could minister in the Holy Place. So Spirit Birth into God's family is represented by Passover.
But then as a Christian matures (ie can hear God through the Spirit instead of needing to follow men) becomes ready to minister (like an Aaronic Priest) he's annointed for service by Moses pouring oil on his head. This annointing for service is exactly the perfect fit for the "baptism of the Holy Spirit") marked by speaking in tongues in the New Testament. These are people who go into the Holy Place and instead of needing to be told what God says, by a priest, are able to listen to the Spirit in the Holy Place symbolized by the Olive Oil Lamp and Bread from Heaven and Incense Altar (Prayer). The Holy Place symbolizes Pentecost. Phase 2 in a Christians Life. It's fits exactly. But it's not the final destination.
And Phase 3 is the Holy of Holies -- this if for mature believers who have perfect communion with God which is "The Feast of Tabernacles" symbolized by the Face to Face Cherubs on the Mercy Seat. Face to Face communion with God means we are Love just like God is Love. That's the goal of Christianity. Perfect Love/Communion with God.
Since tongues really is a sign reverting back to Babel and man made religion trying to reach God it means that God picked tongues as a sign for Pentecost because via the Holy Spirit found in the "Holy Place" God does allow people to "reach God" now through Jesus Christ. The Tabernacle model is the Path to God or "Jacob's Ladder." Or as the Orthodox church might call it "Theosis."
So now when we speak of speaking in tongues we don't say "baptized in the Holy Spirit" we say "annointed for service". Christians who depend on "a minister" for all their truth are "Passover Christians" and Christians who are walking Love children who hear God directly through the Spirit are mature Christians or Tabernacles or Holy of Holy Christians. Love is the Goal not tongues but the Tabernacle makes that pretty obvious.
This book took my Christianity to a whole new level and I highly recommend it. So instead of mincing scriptures to prove your theories use biblical templates that don't lie.
I think that by studying the Tabernacle, Christianity should go from the 38,000 denominations who all claim to be in "the truth" as reported on Wikipedia to one denomination who actually is in "the truth".
Amazing Book!
Review Summary: Very little support for views...
Date: 2008-10-14
Details: I was very interested in this book before it arrived, but was very disappointed with the actual text. While the historical information is good and seems solid, the applied symbolism lacks support or back up of any kind. I finally set the book down after 3 chapters. Too many times I would find a statement like, "...and this symbolizes XYZ in Christianity." No back up, so scriptural support, not even a historical claim. Anyone can say, "this means that."
This could be great with some attention to detail.
